When crazy people talk about CO2, they automatically assume that when you say it's BS, you mean ALL pollution is good. They are so full of sh!t. It is eminently plausible to be a very concerned Conservationist, and yet believe that we are having little if any effect on the environment by producing CO2.
There is no proof that CO2 is causing harm. There is no proof of significant positive climate feedbacks. There is plenty of proof of negative climate feedbacks. There is plenty of proof that the amount of money being spent on it is diverting resources from real issues such as health, education and housing.
There is also proof that Greenies are jerks.
